What do you do when you have more donated tack than you can store over the winter? Obviously, you hold a tack sale! But SAFE has such an abundance of tack that we’re having SIX tack sales. Like pop-up shops, these tack sales are short, sweet, and loaded with bargains....

Poppy is a great example of how well-preparedness leads directly to a horse’s success. After a somewhat tumultuous first cinching, we realized that Poppy would need a bit more work to get her comfortable with the process, and stepped back a bit to better get her...

For many of the horses who come to SAFE who are in need of a start or a restart, we spent a great deal of time preparing them for their first saddling and their first rides. But due to the variation in personalities and past histories, the speed at which we are able...
